Service brakes, Oct 9, 2018
THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT IN A WEEK. I HAD PARKED AT A LOCATION 30 MINUTES FROM HOME FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE BRAKE SEEMED LIKE IT WAS ALREADY PUSHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR. A WARNING CAME ACROSS THE SCREEN THAT READ BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD SO I HAD IT JUMPED AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT'S 2 YEARS OLD. I THINK I'LL BE GETTING RID OF THIS CAR.
Air bags, Oct 9, 2018, crash
WE WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT THE OUTER CITY STREET SIGNALING TO MAKE A LEFT AND A CAR HIT US FROM BEHIND WITHOUT BREAKING AT 60 -70 SPEED AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IS SMASHED IN AND NOT ONE AIRBAG WENT OFF. THERE WERE TWO ADULTS (DRIVER & PASSENGER) AND TWO CHILDREN (BACKSEAT).
Other or unspecified, Oct 6, 2018
AIR CONDITIONING A/C HAS BEEN NOT WORKING FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO. IT STARTED OFF BLOWING WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND COOL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT'S WARM ON BOTH SIDES NOW. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH OTHER CIVIC OWNERS I KNOW. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY HONDA. I'VE HAD HONDA VEHICLES FOR PLENTY OF YEARS. ACCORDS, CRV AND OTHER YEAR CIVICS. I'M READY TO GIVE IT UP, SO MUCH FOR RELIABILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, A "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION HONDA THORNTON ROAD (LOCATED AT 1979 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, (770) 674-6078) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
Steering, Sep 28, 2018
THE STEERING STICKS WHEN DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING, EVEN JUST ON A STRAIGHT PATH, YOU HAVE MAKE STEERING ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE. THE STEERING WILL STICK AND WHEN IT "BREAKS LOOSE,", THE CAR OVERCOMPENSATES AND JERKS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE AND ON THE ROAD. ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE REQUIRING HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. HOWEVER, TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. I MADE THEM AWARE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE STEERING AND WAS TOLD HONDA WILL NOT ALLOW REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK WITHOUT REPLICATION OF THE ISSUE FIRST. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE!
Power train, Sep 27, 2018, crash
MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC ROLLED OUT OF MY GARAGE WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME. SHE INITIALLY TURNED THE CAR OFF IN DRIVE. SHE REALIZED THAT IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE WHILE STILL IN PARK. MY DAUGHTER ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE CAR, WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND RAN OVER BY THE RUNAWAY VEHICLE. SHE WAS INJURED BY THIS ACCIDENT. THE CAR HIT A TREE ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. I FOUND A SPRING IN THE GARAGE FLOOR THAT I THOUGHT BELONG TO THE CAR. I CONTACTED AMERICA HONDA AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS INCIDENT. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE 2016 TO 2018 HONDA CIVIC. I MADE HONDA AWARE THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. THE ROLLING BACK IN PARK ISSUE HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE TO ME.
Service brakes, Sep 7, 2018
MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND ON THE DASHBOARD UNDER THE MPH IT SAID ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM. AFTER PLAYING AROUND WITH THE PARKING BRAKE A BIT, THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED. UPON LOOKING UP MY VIN IT SHOWS I DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE KC6 RECALL, BUT MY CAR SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED. PLEASE HELP.

STATIONARY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, WOULD NOT START, BATTERY CHECK OK, COULD NOT TAKE OUT OF PARK, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SHOP AND HAVE TCM REPLACED AND SOFTWARE UPDATED- IN MOTION -STEERING WHEEL SLIPS AND SHAKES AS WELL - VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA.
Power train, Aug 28, 2018
CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR. HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO A CAR BUT APPARENTLY FAULTY COMPRESSORS ARE AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE (SO MUCH SO THAT THERE IS A LONG WAIT JUST TO GET THE PART TO FIX IT) WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HONDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO - CLEARLY A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HONDA OWNERS ARE BEING CHEATED.

FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS AND THEY SAY ITS THROWING CODES FOR ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND THE ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK BUT 3 DEALERSHIPS SAY THE VEHICLE IS FINE
Service brakes, Aug 25, 2018
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS THAT MY CAR DOESN'T START DUE TO AN ELECTRIC BRAKE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS AT HOME, AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO START THE CAR, IT IMMEDIATELY SHOWED THERE WAS AN ELECTRIC BRAKE PROBLEM ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHEN WE ARRIVED THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THEY DISMISSED IT AND SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. TODAY I STARTED THE CAR, DROVE TO A STORE AND WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS TIME EVERYTHING FLICKERED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO PRESS DOWN ON IT, AND THE SAME MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD "ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM." I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN THEY WERE INSPECTING IT THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING ONCE AGAIN. NO ERROR MESSAGE AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO START IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. NOW MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY SAFETY SINCE THE ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWS IT IS A BRAKE PROBLEM. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE.
Service brakes, Aug 22, 2018
WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THEN RELEASED, IT SOMETIMES TAKE UP TO TWO OR THREE SECONDS TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTERWARD, EVEN THOUGH I AM STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS IS UNNERVING WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION (YIELDING) AND YOU FEEL YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO PROCEED, UNTIL THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE. HONDA STATES IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE IN THE EVENT SOMETHING WERE TO ACCIDENTALLY DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR WHILE BRAKING. I FEEL OTHERWISE.
Steering, Aug 15, 2018
THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS STICKING OR NOTCHING CAN BE FELT WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING AND IN PARK. THIS PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS.

PLEASE HELP ME.

AN ERROR MESSAGE KEEPS COMING UP ON MY CENTER CONSOLE, WARNING OF AN "ELECTRIC BRAKING PROBLEM." THE RED BRAKE LIGHT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ALSO FLASHES. THIS ALWAYS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE ON. WHILE THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED, I AM UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. I HAVE ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE, AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I PURCHASED IT IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AS A NEW VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA. IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL ANNOUNCED THE MONTH AFTER, BUT I BELIEVE THAT RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION CIVIC LX BASE MODEL. WHILE I WAS SITTING IN DRIVER SEAT WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND THE AC ON. CAR SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND CAR WAS IDLING NORMALLY WITH ENGINE SOUNDING NORMAL. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN THAT MORNING AND IT WAS THE THIRD TIME I HAD TURNED THE ENGINE ON AND OFF FOR THE DAY.. CAR WAS IDLING NORMALLY FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY SLIPPED FROM NEUTRAL INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE GEAR SHIFT NOR ENGAGING THE CLUTCH. SINCE I WAS SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND SITTING ON A LEVEL PARKING LOT AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED.....I INSTINCTIVELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE FORWARD MOTION STOPPED. CAR ACTED LIKE I HAD POPPED THE CLUTCH WHILE IT WAS IN FIRST GEAR. I ASSUMED IT HAD STALLED OUT SO I TURNED THE KEY TO RE-START THE CAR. BUT THE CAR ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND IDLING NORMALLY. THIS INCIDENT ONLY OCCURRED ONCE ON THE DATE OF 8-10-18 WITH 24,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. .NO ONE EXCEPT ME WITNESSED WHAT HAPPENING. I HAVE NOT YET INQUIRED ABOUT IT WITH THE DEALER. CAR IS 2 YEARS, 2 MONTHS OLD AND I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM A HONDA DEALER IN SOUTH FLORIDA. INCIDENT OCCURRED IN SOUTH FLORIDA. NO DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE VEHICLE AND I'VE DRIVEN IT FOR 50 MILES SINCE AND STARTED AND STOPPED THE ENGINE 3XS SINCE WITH NOTHING UNUSUAL HAPPENING. I DID NOTICE THE SHIFT STICK WAS UNCHARACTERISTICALLY MORE DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO FIRST GEAR FOR 2 OR 3 TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT. BUT THE EASE OF SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL. CAR WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT OCCURRED. UNKNOWN FAILURE IN TRANSMISSION AND I FIND IT REALLY ODD CONSIDERING THIS CAR HAS MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE IN MOTION ON A PUBLIC STREET/ HIGHWAY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COMPRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE INCREASING SPEED!! ALSO, AT TIME VEHICLE WILL SAY EMERGENCY BREAK IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ALSO ALERTS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THIS CAR IS GOING FULL SPEED AND LOOSES POWER. HAVING TO PULL ASIDE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE ONCE OR MULTIPLE TIMES TO BRING IT BACK TO SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I GOT INTO THE TRUNK OF MY CIVIC (KEYLESS) AND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE CAR, EVERYTHING HAD SHUT DOWN AND IT IS LOCKED AND WON'T RESPOND TO THE EMERGENCY KEY OR THE FOB. THIS BEGAN 2 DAYS AGO AND I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS O THE INTERNET OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO MY CAR HERE IN THE ARIZONA DESERT COULD BE A SERIOUE PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (ROSEBURG HONDA, 1950 NW MULHOLLAND DR, ROSEBURG, OR 97470, (541)-672-6227), BUT A FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CV AXLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW. STEERING HAS STARTED STICKING. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S A CATCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TRY TO MAINTAIN LANE AND HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH THE "CATCH" FEEL WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK. IT HASN'T GOTTEN TO WHERE IT IS CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENING. ON MORE CURVING ROADS THE STEERING SEEMS TO CATCH, AND STICK, WHICH CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING AND GET THE WHEEL THROUGH THE "CATCH" IN ORDER TO STAY ON THE ROAD WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK EVERY TIME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE SMOOTH STEERING AND FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING AT THE EXTENT IT IS NOW WHICH IS CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IS VERY DISTURBING. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS.

THE AC COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE BOTH LEAKING. ONE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO TELL ME THEY WERE LEAKING BECAUSE A ROCK HIT IT AND CAUSED THE DAMAGE, AND IT COSTS $600 TO FIX. BUT UPON PROPER DIAGNOSIS FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY DID TELL ME BOTH THE COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE LEAKING, AND IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE. THESE PRODUCTS HAVE KNOWN ISSUES THAT PEOPLE HAVE LISTED ONLINE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO FILE A CLAIM THROUGH GOOD WILL. THEY SAID THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY 50/50, WHICH LEAVES ME TO PAY $842 BEFORE TAXES TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER SOLUTION. THIS IS UNSAFE THAT ALL OF THESE CARS HAVING LEAKING CONDENSERS AND COMPRESSORS AND IT IS A SCAM TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY ANYTHING TO FIX AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN IT IS HOT WEATHER OR RAINING AND THEN IT GETS COLD THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO SEE WITHOUT HAVING THE AIR ON. THE AC HELPS TO ELIMINATE ANY VISIBILITY ISSUES WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. CURRENTLY MY WINDSHIELD KEEPS FOGGING UP DUE TO NOT HAVING THE AC, ESPECIALLY WHEN ANOTHER CAR IS COMING TOWARDS ME WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS, MY WINDSHIELD BLINDS ME. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF SOMEONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME BY LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND POSSIBLE POSTING A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE PRODUCTS, I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT. I ALREADY SPOKE TO CORPORATE HONDA AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE AND THEY SAY THAT THEY DON'T PUT OUT THEIR OWN RECALLS. BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS NOT OKAY, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO HAVE A FAULTY SYSTEM FIXED, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS WAY. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE AFTER THE CAR WAS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON ONE SPECIFIC DAY, IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.
Steering, Jul 6, 2018
AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 5+ MINUTES, THE STEERING HAS A CATCH IN IT. EVEN GOING AROUND TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK IN THE POSITION (I CAN TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AND IT STAYS IN THE SAME TURNING POSITION IT'S IN) MAKING ME USE SMALL FORCE TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION WHEN IT SHOULD TURN BACK NATURALLY. IT DOES THE SAME THING ON STRAIGHT ROADS LIKE AN INTERSTATE. IT MAKES KEEPING LANE CONTROL DIFFICULT WHEN THE VEHICLE MAY VEAR TO A CERTAIN SIDE. CAUSING THE CAR TO BE 'JERKY'
